The KDE Release Team has a list with things that need to happen before we can get KDE 4.0
out of the door. I feel it’s a good idea to share this with the wider community as much as
possible. We need to get our noses aligned and head for 4.0. This will be a huge effort, but
on the way to the finish line for 4.0, we’ll need to focus on the following things:
- Workspace Plasma
- Color configuration (I understand this is already in)
- Oxygen style (More help is need in polishing)
- Konqueror
- Dolphin
- KMail
- Kate
- Printing (i.e. kprinter)
- Sound
The Beta Cycle will continue until these critical components are determined
to be functional (i.e. the “Minimum Requirements”). Our hero David Faure put it very nicely:
Let’s fix the damn code before we think about betas and parties :-)
The Release Team is contacting people in charge of those components to give more detailed
information about the status and what to expect.
be deferred into the 4.0 cycle. Getting 4.0 out of the door will be heavy lifting, now is
time to show that we can function as one community with one
shared goal. So if you want to see KDE 4.0 released (and I boldly assume we all do), help with
fixing the bits above.
